You will be faced with "street rep's" offereing to take you (for free) to there Fathers, or Grandfathers workshop where they do Marble inlays etc.... Also carpet/rug making is another favourite along with wooden carving. When you arrive the person who took you will disappear for a short time leaving you stranded talking to a high pressure salesman. You have to be quite firm with these people because they don't take your first "no" as an answer.

Agra is the place where is lot of Tourist cheaters.
Dont Belive them if they tell you this stories

2. Please dont use your Credit cards in Agra if you have to dont hand over credit card far from you they can make more sleeps for that
